How Can Nurses Survive Bullying Environments? eBook

The Hollow Theory examines the emergence of toxicity in the workplaces of nurses. This book explores the origins of bullying and incivility as the profession of nursing emerges as a vulnerable one for insecure bullies to prey upon the focused and productive employee in order to elevate their own self-perceived personal and professional deficits.

 Toxic workplaces are maintained to control others and negatively impact affected persons who do not adapt to the dysfunction and choose to be true to themselves both personally and professionally. Healthy workplaces exist when healthy people take back control of the workplace by alleviating toxic norms (e.g., bullying, rudeness, lying, etc.). This book will help nurse leaders to support impacted nurses.
